Lamb Rub
Mix all the ingredients together then rub all over the lamb.
To cook your lamb
Place your rubbed and brined shoulder of lamb onto a roasting tray. Add a pinch of rosemary and thyme over the lamb. Place into a pre-heated oven at 120c for 2 hours. After 2 hours turn your oven up to 220c and finish roasting for a further 30-45 minutes to brown the lamb. Let the lamb slightly cool, then slice into thin slices.
To prepare your tomatoes
In a whisking bowl add the sugar, vinegar, shallot, and thyme, pouring the oil into the bowl very slowly whisking all the time the oil will start to emulsify with the vinegar and sugar. Once all the oil is added finish with salt and pepper then add your tomatoes to the marinade and mix well. Place the tomatoes skin-side down onto a tray lined with baking paper and lightly cover the tomatoes with the remaining marinade and dry in a pre-heated oven set at 50°C for 4 hours.
To make your pickled red onions
Bring your water, vinegar, sugar and oil to the boil. Leave to cool to room temperature. Add in your sliced red onions. Place clingfilm over the top to keep submerged and leave to pickle for at least 24 hours.
To make your garlic butter
Whisk all ingredients together to make a paste.
To make your tzatzik
Combine all ingredients.
To assemble your Gyros:
To cook your flatbread, you can either use a barbeque or pizza oven. We’ll show you how to do it using a pizza oven:
Brush your flatbread with your garlic and herb butter.
Lay the flatbread on a paddle and bake for 30 seconds until golden brown. Remove and flip and brush with more garlic butter on the other side. Return to the oven for another 10 seconds.
Using some of the remaining marinade from the tomatoes, fold in some chopped mint and drizzle this over your sliced lamb.
Take some of your warm, sliced lamb and place on top of the flatbreads.
Add your sliced cucumber, tomatoes and feta and drizzle over your Tzatziki, and finish with your fried skinny fries.
Wrap the flatbread around your filling and finish with a little more of the tomato and mint dressing.
Enjoy!
